# Inline Template Attribute
breaking
# Overview
Support for the inline-template feature (opens new window) has been removed.
# 2.x Syntax
In 2.x, Vue provided the inline-template
attribute on child components to use its inner content as its template instead of treating it as distributed content.
<my-component inline-template>
<div>
<p>These are compiled as the component's own template.</p>
<p>Not parent's transclusion content.</p>
</div>
</my-component>

# 3.x Syntax
This feature will no longer be supported.
# Migration Strategy
Most of the use cases for inline-template
assumes a no-build-tool setup, where all templates are written directly inside the HTML page.
Migration build flag: COMPILER_INLINE_TEMPLATE
# Option #1: Use <script>
tag
The most straightforward workaround in such cases is using <script>
with an alternative type:
<script type="text/html" id="my-comp-template">
<div>{{ hello }}</div>
</script>

And in the component, target the template using a selector:
const MyComp = {
template: '#my-comp-template'
// ...
}

This doesn't require any build setup, works in all browsers, is not subject to any in-DOM HTML parsing caveats (e.g. you can use camelCase prop names), and provides proper syntax highlighting in most IDEs. In traditional server-side frameworks, these templates can be split out into server template partials (included into the main HTML template) for better maintainability.
# Option #2: Default Slot
A component previously using inline-template
can also be refactored using the default slot - which makes the data scoping more explicit while preserving the convenience of writing child content inline:
<!-- 2.x Syntax -->
<my-comp inline-template :msg="parentMsg">
{{ msg }} {{ childState }}
</my-comp>
<!-- Default Slot Version -->
<my-comp v-slot="{ childState }">
{{ parentMsg }} {{ childState }}
</my-comp>

The child, instead of providing no template, should now render the default slot*:
<!--
in child template, render default slot while passing
in necessary private state of child.
-->
<template>
<slot :childState="childState" />
</template>

- Note: In 3.x, slots can be rendered as the root with native fragments support!
